Senior Games

Who is to say that age can determine greatness. No one. No one is to say this. Because elderly people can achieve just as much greatness as any young entrepreneur, if not more—they just have to put their minds to it. If anything, elderly are the toughest of us all. They have endured experiences that we could not even imagine. They have had children, and watched their children have children, and been in wars, and maybe even had some surgery. Or maybe a lot of surgery, all over their body. No matter the amount of surgery they have had, they’ve been through a lot. But if they’ve had more surgery than usual, they have been through even more than the usual elderly person. And some of these guys have a lot of surgery.
The point is, just because elderly people might be a little wrinkled, we don’t all have to see them as weak and incapable. This is why, in San Antonio Texas, they hold the Senior Games every year to encourage and promote the fitness and healthy lifestyle of people in their old age. These games were first held in 1990 with 525 athletes participating, however last year, this number reached an all-time high of 1,200, who participate in over 24 individual sporting events—each athlete must participate in at least 3 events. Some events include:
·         Scrabble
·         Archery
·         Badminton
·         Bowling
·         Biking
·         Golf
·         Pickleball
·         Horseshoes
·         Road Races
·         Shuffleboard
·         Swimming
·         Table Tennis
·         Tennis
·         Triathalon
·         Volleyball
What are your feelings about these senior games? Would you, as a blogger, sign yourself up for the senior games when you become elderly? How do you feel about elderly people feeling victorious and successful?

Baby Animals


This world is full of conflict. It is full of argument, and war, and violence, and fighting. There is darkness, and sadness, and disagreement, and shame. But there is one thing that everyone can agree on—it forms friendships and relationships and brings lovers closer together. This thing starts with B and ends with aby Animals, yup you guessed it its Baby Animals.

There is this undeniable happiness that comes along with observing and interacting with baby animals, and it is contagious. There are books, posters, t-shirts, TV shows, stickers—society can’t get enough. Why are they so great? The answer to this can only be experienced; you have to see for yourself. There is something about their innocence and their adorable faces that makes people melt, melt straight into liquid. They just crawl around, and they don’t even make real noises, they just squeak and squeak. And people love it. They love the idea of little tiny furry things running around and squeaking, and it gives you a feeling that you really have to experience to understand. Look at the video below and tell me what you think—what is your favorite type of baby animal? If you could start a farm full of just baby animals, which kind would you choose?
